polarising reference voltage is set to 0deg and the current phase angle is measured with respect to this
reference.
Alternatively, the instrument can be checked at the 4 points marked a,b,c & d on Figure 2-1 only.

phase-phase operate voltage.

Ensure that at least 1 Phase Overcurrent element is set to Directional. Apply balanced nominal voltage. Apply
current at a level above the 50/51 setting on phase A only at the characteristic angle for forward operation,
normally 45º lagging. Ensure no Directional Phase Overcurrent element operation occurs. Note that non-
directional Phase Overcurrent and Non-direction Earth Fault elements may operate unless disabled.
Repeat the test with Phase A current as above but also with equal current in the B phase at 180º to that in the A
phase.
